Cathie is and was unforgettable for her strong spirit, unending energy and generosity. I enjoyed working with her for almost 20 years, meeting her and spending time talking about lots of things unrelated to business.

Cathie, I will miss you regaling me with stories of your trips with the seniors. Your voice on the phone always gave me a lift, and I don't know that we ever completed a phone call without laughter somewhere in it. I shall miss you, friend. My heartfelt condolences to your family for losing you much too soon.

I worked with Cathie for over 15 years and during that time I enjoyed her sense of humor and admired her strength and independence. She fought a valiantly battle, always with a very positive attitude. She WILL be missed. Thanks to God that she is "home" at last.
